artFREELetter Brush Art Workshop
Thu, May 14 · 2:00 PM
NYPL George Bruce Branch · Morningside Heights
This event will take place in person at George Bruce Library. This three-session workshop invites participants to explore the connection between visual art and literacy through creating decorative, nature-inspired alphabet letters. Using tempera paint and ink, participants will design illustrated initials that incorporate floral and organic imagery, inspired by historical and contemporary lettering traditions. The program emphasizes the role of letters as the foundation of reading and writing, encouraging participants to engage with words, names, or short texts as sources of creative inspiration while developing both artistic and expressive skills. No experience is necessary. Classes will be help on Thursday, May 7, 14, and 21. Participants are asked to commit to attending all three sessions. Space is limited, so please register to reserve a spot through the May 7 event page.
